Automatic Rollover IRA Services for Ongoing Plans
Plan. Protect. Save.
Are small-balance terminated employee accounts adding time and cost to the administration of your plan? ERISA and Department of Labor (DOL) regulations allow plan sponsors to move the account of a terminated participant from the plan if their vested account balance is under $5,000. Our Automatic Rollover IRAs for missing or non-responsive terminated employees can help you:
- Lower plan administrative costs
- Reduce your fiduciary exposure
- Protect missing participants’ deferred tax status
- Redirect your staff’s time and resources to higher-value business processes
Automatic Rollover IRAs go by many names but are all effectively the same.
